Project summary

This residency project supports Clémentine Bart’s rewriting of Eddy, a solo born from encounters with people in extreme precarity. The project expands its scope through a three-country residency (France, Germany, Italy), collecting multilingual testimonies and collaborating with local associations. Clémentine will work with a musician to transform these stories into a universal choreographic piece, blending dance, recorded voices, and live performance. Each residency—Cluny Danse (FR, lead), ZANT Festival (DE), and Teatri Riflessi (IT)—will host workshops, community engagement, and a work-in-progress presentation. The goal is to create a cross-border artistic dialogue, amplify marginalized voices, and foster long-term connections between artists, festivals, and audiences.

Artist

Clémentine Bart

Biography: Choreographer, dancer and physical performer, Clémentine Bart founded Compagnie Point Bart in 2021. A multidisciplinary artist, her work explores the limits of the human body — exhaustion, tension, collapse, voice, breath. She develops a visceral choreographic language rooted in lived experience, physical immersion, and direct encounters with places and people.
Trained at Jeune Ballet Atlantique, IFPRO Rick Odums and Ballet Junior de Genève, she has collaborated with renowned choreographers such as Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Barak Marshall and Alexander Ekman, and has performed internationally with companies including Ballet Preljocaj, Tango Sumo and Volcan Dance Company.
